Several updates were just deployed to the site. Similar to the , these primarily address issues stemming from the to the forum:
  • Our deployment process has been improved to perform most of the work behind the scenes prior to making the site unavailable. Downtime should now be closer to 1 minute, rather than the 3-5 minutes we'd seen previously. We're continuing to work on this process to see if we can deploy with no downtime.
  • Private topics will now display in search results, including keyword searches, ego search, and topic results
  • There is now a link to "View user's topics" on the user profile page. It is in a different location before, appearing at the bottom of the "USER STATISTICS" column.
  • Fixed issues with activity overview where the hours portion of the elapsed time column were calculated incorrectly. We incorrectly announced this as fixed on Jan 29, but the change had not been fully pushed to our repository and didn't make it out with that release.
  • Signatures longer than 4 lines will now be hidden behind a "Show" link.
  • Signatures are easier to distinguish from posts, as their text size has been reduced.
  • Fixed issues where quoting from inside the post preview / editor page generated HTML in the resulting quote.
  • The isolation post # is now bolded when isolating users in a topic.
  • Fixed spacing issues beneath quote tags, where previously an extra line of text was generated beneath the quote box.
  • Fixed spacing issues above and below list tags. Some older posts may need to be edited & re-submitted to correct their spacing.
  • Fixed the background color of nested quote tags, where the background will alternate up to 10 nested quote tags. This helps distinguish between nested quotes.
  • A link to "Your posts" AKA ego search has been added to the bottom right portion of the site. In mobile, this may appear collapsed behind a menu icon.
  • Fixed issues where some browsers's on-page text search function failed to pick up links & text right next to each other.
We're still actively working through the remaining list of issues that have been reported since the upgrade. If you notice any issues, please post in the thread.
